The object of this quiz is to place 20 circles of radius 100 miles on the map so that they contain the largest total population.
When you begin you'll be given a 100-mile radius circle centered on the map. Move it using the mouse and click SUBMIT. You will be given a score for that circle corresponding to the total population among all US census tracts within it (there are about 85K total US census tracts averaging about 4K people each). Try to complete all 20 circles with the highest total score.
Any INTERSECTING areas are only counted one time, so no census tract will be counted more than once.
It looks like Sun Peaks is currently not working in British Columbia
It’s a ‘Resort Municipality’ and not counted on this quiz.
There are five towns in Alberta that I couldn’t find the names of / get names to match:
Pretty sure number 3 is Black Diamond
It doesn’t take Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine. Any way I’ve tried it doesn’t take it. I’ve tried with no accents or comma like this : “Les Iles de la Madeleine” or removing “Les” and still doesn’t take it. I don’t know how it’s possible to get it
It takes with just ‘les iles’
Why is there a supposed town in southern labrador that i cant seem to find the name of? Looks like it should be english point but i tried it several times, the mysterius town doesnt appear on google maps and i checked multiple other maps but none show this town
What’s the population of it? Hover your mouse over it to see the population. I can let you then know which town it is.
After doing what I could initially just from my brain, I noticed some oddities and thought I’d see if i could get them all using a map as a guide. Two of them appear to be incorrect – “Sun Peaks Mountain” is the town of “Sun Peaks”…. and “Northern Rockies” is not a township at all, it’s a general area and pretty much no one lives where the pin is showing.
I’m curious about the source data – a lot of the towns are missing, while other smaller towns are present.
So I believe I typically used the “municipal units” under each province that has them…

Yes it would be good if Sun Peaks could be included for Sun Peaks Mountain & Fort Nelson for Northern Rockies.
Will add those.
